How can you say Mikel lacks finesse ? Have you not seen him popping one in, recently ? On par with Chelsea strikers, he is.

Well, one never know. If Mata cannot please Jose & it could happen easily, then he is benched. Therefore, Mata should walk.

No, I have not. I posted about PL standings only. Drogba was the most influential player Chelsea had for years. Without his crucial goals the team would not have been as successful. As for the need of a striker. Most successful teams do have one. At Chelsea, that´s missing. Why do you think Jose was screwing around for Rooney ?

What makes you think Josh or Chalobah are ready to jump right in for Jose´s project even as squad players ?

May I ask where exactly this Chalobah & Josh would play ?

As I said, my stats app tells me Chelsea at 6 to 2 in PL standings. Is it wrong ? Chelsea never relied on strikers for a decade ? Do you remember Drogba ?

The latest rumor tells me about Chelsea wants to bid for Mangala in January. The transfer could free up a deal for Luiz to join Bayern since it was rejected in the summer.

Whether Mata will play more defensively for Jose, it remains to be seen. Mata either proves & tries to play to Jose liking or he walks.

Strikers how many ? Last time I looked Chelsea at 6 goals scored 2 allowed. Of course, I do not account for those " friendly matches" against Bayern & Swindon.

A field day, it is, then ? Amazing day, I am looking forward to it. How many do you think these AMs might score ?

Howdy 19, a long time no see. I see, you are still in here to dispute just about everything written here. How about those Spurs on Saturday ? Will Chelsea score one at all ?

or anybody just to score goals.

Here is another offensive player that Jose wants to mold into something he is not. Does he need to adapt to stay at Chelsea ? " I do not need to prove anything, " he says. I tend to agree. Even though, we had seen his defensive skills are not kosher, but he makes up for it by his offensive ones.

The UK newspapers reported it. Deep inside, he may feel otherwise.

C300, I assume, you are still against manures tonight, are you ?

Never mind, these driblets about hyperbole....Mata is not ready to play defensively.

It takes two to tango & you are stepping on my foot. Jose is a man who driven referees from the game, poked people in the eye & belittled managers who have the misfortune not to be Jose, I read. Of course, there is no doubt about his coaching ability. To mold Mata & Luiz into something which they are not is just plain stupid.

I too find it " baffling " you cannot see Mata is not a defensive player. The end of discussion, see you.

There are many clubs that will buy them, happily. No offensive minded player should become defensive specialist, maybe only Jose thinks so. Remember that.

One more time. Mata needs to prove shit! Mata is, was the best Chelsea player two years running. The same thing applies to Luiz. Sell them both if Jose does not like their styles.

Mata does not need to prove anything to Jose. Either you accept him the way he plays or sell him. Suddenly, Jose wants him to be a defensive specialist ? How fucking clueless, in my opinion.

Did I say that ? Mata is treated like crap. Instead of being slowly introduced into the team after his injury, he is benched.

Is he missing all that ? Just to remind you, he is a striker, scores goals & plenty of them.

Who is talking about sentiment here ? Mata is, was & most likely will be the best among all Chelsea players. This issue here has been a peculiar one, in my view. I´d say, it has got a lot to do with Jose power trip, than anything else.

Excuse me, but he isn´t fit....? May I ask, what exactly is he missing ?
